Yemen at UN calls for land forces to ‘save’ country

UNITED NATIONS, US: Yemen’s mission to the United Nations called Wednesday for a ground intervention to push back a Huthi rebel offensive in the south of a country where conditions are deteriorating after weeks of war. The mission also urged rights organizations to document “barbaric violations” allegedly carried out by the Iran-backed Huthis in Aden, in the south of Yemen, and other cities.
